Demo - Ai vs AI Battles issue

[Blackhawk]

Hello,

In 4 player the Ai vs AI Battles (Unpatched & Patched) eventually go into possibly endless AI loops, with the AI not comitting/acting.

This is with strictly turn based on. Whether Army by army activation is on or not makes no difference.

In my last attempt at playing the game , the first AI vs AI Battle:-

Round 1 took 1 minute before both sides had engaged,
Round 2 about 1,5 minutes
Round 3 after a further 5 minutes got the 3 finger salute (open task list an manually kill the programm)

This is on an XP installation, Athlon64 3200, 2 GB RAM.

Is there any Antivirus that is not configured with WW1.EXE like trusted application?

Is there any resident program running in background that causes such lags?

Can you try with sounds & musics disabled (Configure Game tool)?

Hi,

With sounds & Music off - I got through multiple battles in the pre-turn & August.
In September the first battle was a large Battle,

Round one was okish
Round 2 - French AI had committed & engaged, German had after a bit committed,but waited 2 mins before engageing.
ROund 3 - never finished.

During Round 2 i switched the task manager on-
CPU was at 60% occasional peaks upto 70%.
Memory committed was just over 1GB

Try to totally turn off the Antivirus.

By the way, what Antivirus?

For example, I was never able to run the game with Norton Antivirus (similar issues like yours), even if disabling it (I was forced to uninstall it).
Similar problems (but lesser) with Panda.
